  1. UKSON 79 Simon Gooder Offshore Renewable Energy Installations An update safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  2. UKSON 79 Simon Gooder “……..the MCA seeks to facilitate delivery of the Government’s Kyoto targets whilst safeguarding maritime safety.” safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  3. OREI Update Simon Gooder Headlines • R2 applications being received • Industry reluctance to adopt MGN 275 guidance • Wet renewables • Radar interference • Marine spatial planning – horizon scan • Workload/volume increasing safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  4. Simon Gooder safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  5. safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  6. Wet Renewables • European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) - Orkney • Ocean Power Delivery (“sea sausage”) • Eday site - (submersible turbines – 1st = Open Hydro ) • Lynmouth, Marine Current Turbines, installation May 2003 (rotor) – ES Scoping to add 10 • Other potential MCT sites off Wales • Strangford Lough – consented • Wave Dragon, approaches to Milford Haven (wave overtopping), relocated + ES Scoping • Swansea tidal lagoon – ES Scoping OREI Update safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  7. Simon Gooder SW WAVE HUB ATBA safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  8. SW Wave Hub proposed ATBA Busiest Day + 10nm radius safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  9. SW Wave Hub proposed ATBA Why an ATBA? • Organises traffic in area of offshore exploitation (GPSR para 1.2.4) • Proximity to limits of Territorial Sea • Proportionate response to the risk • Improves the safety of navigation • Longer term implications safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  10. SW Wave Hub proposed ATBA • It is considered that such an IMO adopted routeing measure will have minimal impact to shipping and ports. • It will enable mariners to make decisions earlier to avoid the area of potential risk thereby promoting marine and navigational safety. • It is offered that doing nothing is not an option and that by being proactive there is the opportunity to influence outcomes. safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  11. Simon Gooder • SW Wave Hub – meetings • 24 Jan 06 at Trinity House – Halcrow, Anatec, THLS, CoS, DTI, DfT & MCA. • 4 Apr 06 at DTI - THLS, CoS, RYA, NLB, UKMPA, DTI, DfT & MCA. safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  12. safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  13. SW Wave Hub Simon Gooder Stakeholders’ views: • Initially warm to compromise location. • “Sea lanes” issue is evident, especially when viewed cumulatively. • Risk seen as too high • Move it anywhere away from shipping • Preferably, to off Newquay. safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas

  14. SW Wave Hub Simon Gooder MCA current view on revised location • Tolerable with appropriate safeguards • Proportionate response to the risk • Need to maintain the safety of navigation • Proximity to limits of Territorial Sea – fully within UK’s jurisdiction • Sensitive to longer term implications • Need to be pro-active rather than reactive. …………..now await their application. safer lives, safer ships, cleaner seas
